THAT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER" she said. And she went to see it three more times, with people other than me. Even though there is not a lot of action in this book, it still kept me riveted. I appreciated how the menace of the Volturi came off so clearly, even with very little onscreen violence. The contrast between the Cullens and the Volturi was beautifully, clearly rendered. How the Cullens had chosen the connection between them, the capacity to love over the bloodlust, even if it was terribly hard at times. This helped me to see that Edward’s motives were truly good, even if they seemed foolhardy. Once that was clear, and seeing his pain, how leaving Bella had destroyed him, I couldn’t stay mad at him. I love Edward way too much. I also adore the Cullens, especially Alice and Carlisle. Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience.

But you know as long as I'm invested enough to continue, I will. I just hope that as the series grows it will focus less on the history of vampires - because I don't remember signing up for Vampires 101 - and give us more of what we're all here for. . .

Adding to that, I got to wondering late one night. Whenever Bella gets ready in the morning, Edward just sits there waiting for her to be done. Do vampires not use the bathroom or brush their teeth? asking for a friend.nook. lightweight. tiny. capacious. good for hiding your books from nosy subway riders. may contain traces of new moon...

Is that Bella or me reading New Moon? I am desperately looking for the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Forbidden to remember, terrified to forget; it was a hard line to walk. Really cringing at my younger self.. I really thought Romeo and Juliet was just an innocent mention at the start of the book. Oh, boy, if only I knew. But I thought why not enlighten all of you to my opinion of the Twilight series so here we are again. Larry Carroll (February 19, 2009).

Retrieved February 20, 2009.So, finally Alice shows up in chapter 18 because she thought Bella was trying to commit suicide (close enough Alice). And through a nice little exchange of "he said, she said" BS, Edward is off to Italy to kill himself. This causes Bella to go into "hero" mode and race to Italy and save Edward. I really don't care enough to give my thoughts on the race to Italy. That entire part was rushed and anti-climatic. There isn't even a fight scene. Instead here is a timeline courtesy of Reasoning with Vampires (Thanks for the link Cait and Jen!): Is this what we're supposed to be teaching our teenage daughters? Sisters? Nieces?

Well... look on the bright side. I've heard so much about this book, and I suppose it is interesting to see what people are talking about. But, Jesus Christ, Bella is eighteen and she's already obsessing about getting old. She keeps hassling Edward to turn her into a vampire so that she can stay young and pretty for ever. There is some chance that this will result in her losing her immortal soul, but hey, seems worth the risk. I guess, anything to get out of Bella's mind. But I had an inkling before diving into this book - I even wrote myself a reminder before opening the first chapter - that the author would ruin Edward and Bella so as to make way for our new – not improved, but different – hero (I'm having way too much fun with the She's All That references). I literally wrote a note titled, "Things to remember in case Edward's character gets ruined in the follow-up books." The list wasn't long, but still. It all starts with Romeo and Juliet. Stupid kids. Yes, yes, the great tragedy of love. Please note the word tragedy came before the word love. Because without the tragedy there would be no story. What would the story be otherwise? I'm not going to presume to rewrite Shakespeare (at least not for the hypothetical purposes of illustrating a point in this review). Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violenceThis is your dilemma Stephanie Meyers. You've laid the groundwork, not for a Jane Austen like happy-ending despite the odds, but a Shakespearian tragedy that will not only leave the audience sobbing, but foaming mad. Frankly, the readers of today don't want a tragedy (for the most part), they get that enough every day. They want the happy ending. I want the happy ending and what would that be in this situation? Beyond that. I love Bella's individualism at the end. Taking a choice Edward would choose to die before making, that will affect her, his family and everyone that loves him. With the danger lurking on all ends, Bella taking that stand sets up the most beautiful balance of her becoming Edward's equal. But then we must consider the problem of Bella: whiny, needy, and sullen, blindly devoting herself to a partner that constantly patronizes, criticizes, and subjugates her only for him to leave so she can spend the next 8 months in a state of emotional vacancy so acute that she forgets everything else in her life that a girl can be happy about. Bella is only complete--and she says this herself--when her man is by her side. And apparently, according to Meyer at least, this is ok. It's ok to create a character so bereft of purpose, self-assurance, and identity that she can't live without a relationship based on nothing substantial, just beauty, lust, and exoticism.

this twilight craze... the books are not as bad as the haters say they are, but they are also nowhere near as good as lovers of this series believe. this installment was just kind of... bland. despite my reading it on the fine e-ink technology of the new nook. A 100 year old man in a teenager's body after a teenage HUMAN girl because none of the female vamps wanted him. UNDERSTANDABLE. Also, where did the nanobots come from, and why are "vampires" unhappy to be out in open sunlight? I can only see one sensible answer. They can't have been created by humans. "Vampires" have been around a long time, and human technology was primitive when they first appeared. They must be from elsewhere, which in practice means from another solar system. Probably they were originally created thousands of light-years from here, and have been drifting slowly on the cosmic currents for millennia. Well, if their normal habitat is deep interstellar space, no wonder they're scared of sunlight. They wouldn't normally be this close to a star; they're not designed for it at all.
